Fiona feels like she's finally settled into St. Lawrence Academy. The sight of her classmates changing into centaurs, harpies, and merrows doesn't faze her anymore, and she's been careful to use the words Phasms or people. She hasn't forgotten that she's the only human in school and is still hiding it with the help of her friends. But even with a new French teacher, one not trying to suck the power out of the whole school, things aren't going as smooth as Fiona would like to believe. Because not everyone is pleased with the way Mr. Bishara handled things, and as Fiona finds out, not all Phasms are friendly to each other. Things go from bad to worse when the faculty begin to disappear. In the end, Fiona is forced to face the whole school and make a decision: Protect herself or protect her new home. Sequel to Academy for the Strange

When Fiona ends up at St. Lawrence Academy according to her mom's wishes, she isn't expecting what she finds. She can handle the school's private plane, that the academy is located on its own private island and she can even take the fact that she's the only transfer student they've had in years. What she can't handle is the fact she's the only human in school. Because St. Lawrence Academy isn't just for learning math, English, and art. No, it's a school for the supernatural to learn how to fit in among humans. Forced to hide what she is and pretend to be a dryad, something she'd never even heard of before, Fiona has to do her best to fit in or lose the only place she has to go.

Florida Forest Service duty officer Ray Lumley is in love with a white fringetree. Not an I-read-Walden-in-high-school love; a sweaty, sappy, I-want-to-rub-against-you-'til-I-get-splinters love. It's awkward. So, he's relieved to learn that he's really hot for Trivia, the dreadlocked, radical environmentalist nymph who lives inside the tree. Better yet, she wants to share an eternity of Arcadian delights with him. But first she has to kill the man she holds responsible for a spate of forest fires--Ray's boss, a mid-level bureaucrat (and soccer dad) who she insists is the King of the Woods. -- King of the Woods, or Trivial Pursuit retells the myth of rex Nemorensis as an urban fantasy. Updates every Tuesday.

It's been 50 years since an outbreak of a deadly neurotoxin caused the end of the "civilized" world. Cannibal caravans, militarized sewer people, feral pack-hunting orphans, and loyal-to-the-death families fight for the last remaining resources; in their growing desperation, they've become more dangerous than the infected themselves. Things become even more complicated when a rogue gang of kick-ass nuns appears, recruiting women oppressed by the post-apocalyptic patriarchy to spread strange and powerful narcotics across the dismantled country. These drugs, they claim, are the cure to virus. Suddenly there is hope for humanity, hope even for the infected. But will that hope turn to horror when a world that has only known brutality for half a century attempts to re-create an already flawed system? Summerland is the first part in a trilogy that details the social, cultural, and political repercussions of the post-post-apocalyptic reconstruction era, told through the eyes of four young people coming of age at the end of the end of the world.
